Thank you for the video. We have 20 beautiful kale and collard plants that survived the winter and grew quickly over the last month. A few began to show flowers; it it good to know how to prune them to continue to enjoy the leaves.
You are welcome and thank you for watching.
Your knowledge is very much appreciated!
Thank you Noni. I appreciate you watching.
Thank You so much for the video. 2020 was the first year I planted collar greens 🥬. They did beautifully. Today they look just like yours (bolting) & I was sure if I could still eat the leaves today. I will allow some to seed and reproduce & the rest I will trim off the seed. Again thank you! I really had no idea what I needed to do.
Thank you for watching. If the flower has not blossom, you can eat the leave.
You are welcome. Glad it was helpful and thank you for watching.
Thank you so much for this very informative video!🙏💜☺ I have been growing collard greens in big pots on my patio for a few years. I have never seen it flower before. You explained everything very well. Blessings
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching.
Hello Dear!! I love your collard plants. This is one of my favorite vegetables to eat from my childhood. Great video!!!
Thank you so much for watching. I'm your new subscriber friend.
I'm trying to get seeds from my greens ..Thank you for sharing ☮️❤️💡
You are welcome and thank you for watching.
Those are some beautiful collard greens, goid healthy thick stalks. Mine are spindly and smaller in comparison and are bolting. Thank you for sharing your plants and knowledge!
You are welcome. Did you give your collard greens soluble fertilizer? I'm glad you are blessed through the video. Thank you for watching.
@@eretabegardens, no I didn't add fertilzer. I planted it from seed March 20th, we're in zone 4a-b. Then planted it out in the main garden May 6th or so. Our last frost date is May 15th, but I was watching the forecasts carefully, and believed it would work out. May was very warm and mostly dry here in Minnesota, so watering has been a must, June has been the same so far.
I've tried to stay away from fertilizer, choosing to enrich the soil with our own mulch, keeping the soil covered with straw and or grass clippings between rows, and using companion planting for benefits the plants give each other and for insect repelling. I did buy some organic fertilizer this year, and will use a bit here and there. I'll add a bit around the collards. I did break the seed heads off, and harvested 8-10 leaves or so.
@@virginiaseedsskogen2038 I give mine fish fertilizer and plant food that has high number of nitrogen. That's what leafy vegetables need to grow well and produce beautiful leaves.
@@eretabegardens , good to know, thank you! I have one bag of bone meal, and a couple bags of all-pupose organic fertilizer. We are finally getting a good soaking rain, Thanks be to God!! Last rain of 0.5" was 20 days ago. So, the ground really needs the water, it has been so dry. The cooler temps in the 70's will help too, temps have been in the upper 80's the last few weeks.
Thank you Eretabe for this, because my brassicas have started bolting 🌱❣️
You are welcome Angela and thank you for watching.

Thank you for the video. 🙂
You are welcome. I appreciate you watching.
Yo brethren..you right - it’s like to bee was saying “yo don’t touch the flower!” 😂
Good video thanks for the information
Thank you. I appreciate you watching.
I grow Georgia Cabbage Collards and Alabama Blue Collards.... can't decide which ones I like better! I'm venturing out to try another collard too because the taste and flavor is good raw as wraps (think burrito) or cooked. Mostly I eat them raw.... I just ordered some Green Glaze which are heat and cold resistant as well as cabbage worm and looper resistant - made especially for warmer climates. LOVE my collards! I even grow them indoors and under lights in the winter time in two gallon grow bags for snacking, lol. Great video!
Thank you and I appreciate you for watching. I'm glad you love to experiment. I will check out the Green Glaze. I hope you will like the Green Glaze Collards flavor. Thank you for your love for garden and keep growing more.
Thawadah (thank you) Brother! This is exactly the information I needed. My plants were sown last year. They started bolting this year. I didnt know what to do with them.
You are welcome. Thank you for watching.
☺
Those collard green trees are beautiful.
Thank you. I appreciate you watching.
I do the same thing it works when you get them early because if you don’t, they will start to flower and we’re going into warmer weather now so they will do a lot better
You are right. Thank you for watching.
Thanks the only video that shows this
You are welcome. Thank you for watching.

Thank you for sharing this because I have 15/20 collard green /kale plants, to which one has started to bolt. Wasn’t sure what to do after it bolted. I’m a little sad because I wanted to keep them all but hey I still have ALOT left so I won’t be too sad about it.
You are welcome Trini. I'm sorry to hear that and I'm happy that now you know what to do next time. Thank you for watching my video.
@@eretabegardens I'm not sorry I have so many plants I now have MORE seeds AND I know what to do with the rest should it happen! Thank you for sharing!
@@thetrinitee You are welcome.
56 seconds in yes we always harvest are greens in december or jan im in north Florida . and in past i did a late spring harvest and just did not taste as good and no matter what u did too them not very tender ending frying them in bacon grease
Thank you for your contribution and thank you for watching.
Thank you for your video! Your collards are lovely! I have been searching for Collard seeds and haven’t found any. The local Home Depot didn’t have any.
You are welcome. You may buy the plant and wait for it to produce seeds for the next planting season. I bought the southern Georgia collard greens from Home Depot in summer. Thank you for watching.
Thank you. I never new this about Collards. I never had Collards that bolted. I do have Mustard's that bolt every year. Can, this also be done with Mustard greens?
Yes It can be done with Mustard greens. Thank you for watching and I appreciate you.
Thank you. I'm a new grower. Hopefully my collards will produce tasty leaves after I cut the bolt.
If the flower has not blossom, you can cook a little bit and see if it will be tasteful. Thank you for watching.
Greetings.
I just started gardening last year. I grew collard greens but it started bolting and I didn't realize they were still edible. It has produced many seeds. Does that mean the plant wont produce anymore collard greens? Should I prune the leaves or just pull out the whole root and start over with the new seeds?
Greetings. it depends on the variety you planted. Some varieties grow like trees and some do not but becomes bitter after producing seeds. If yours is the tree type, it will keep producing more leaves and should be good for eating. I will encourage you to pick some of the leaves, cook it and taste it if it's bitter or not. If it's bitter then you can pull it out and plant new ones with the new seeds. If it's not bitter and you want the seeds then leave it alone. Thank you for watching.
You can make new cuttings from the tops od the plants.
Thank you for that information.
